Success of our client in a dispute concerning unfair competitio

The case was part of a wider commercial dispute. The client was accused of disseminating false information about the situation of another entity, a company usurping a number of assets that were the subject of a number of legal proceedings.

However, this seemingly complicated case was resolved relatively quickly. The court of first instance upheld the argumentation of our client’s defence counsel, Bartłomiej Pietruszka, holding that the client’s actions which were the subject of the proceedings did not bear the hallmarks of a prohibited act, and therefore should not have been the subject of criminal proceedings, and the proceedings themselves were discontinued even before the court proceedings began.

The prosecutor appealed against the decision, but the court of second instance upheld the decision of the court of first instance, finding that “a comprehensive analysis of the evidence gathered in the case conducted in the appeal proceedings did not reveal any violations of the law alleged by the appellant. Therefore, since the decision of the court of first instance did not contain any such violations, it had to be upheld.”

The case deserves special attention due to the speed with which the court’s decisions were made. In the case in question, the proceedings lasted only nine months, rather than several years, as is often the case in such cases.

Congratulations!
